hot_milky, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

Bethesda have made some of my favorite games, especially Elder Scrolls but this time I’m just not very interested. I read they added procedural generation which seems like the worst choice possible when the strength of their games always has been environmental storytelling (as in you explore and stumble upon things that make the world feel “lived in”).

I’ll buy the game later, might as well wait for patches, mods and such!

Thrickles, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Breath of the Wild. My first Zelda game. Not one single regret.

deksesuma,

My first was the original game on NES.

I don’t hate Breath of the Wild (or Tears) but I don’t think the series needed to go in that direction.

MadMenace,

I thought BotW was quite like the original, with how open and non-linear it is.

I tried running it with lutris but that didn’t work, I got an error saying I had a non compatible GPU (getting nms release day vibes lol)

In the end I added starfield.exe as a non steam game in steam, and forced proton under compatibility properties and it worked

Unpack the rar, mount the iso, run the executable.

Imagine they decide to add a DLC called “the dragon expansion” just for this guy.

Actually hilarious.

Probably the only thing that could convince me to head back and finish the game tbh.

dog,

So you were looking for Bad Dragons and Good Dungeons, huh. Just wait, someone will mod it all in.

tburkhol, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 ended up making me regret playing.

Gotta admit, I only went looking for the dragon because everyone in game said it’d be super helpful, and there’s a quest called “Gather your allies.” My talker had like 20 charisma and expertise in all the charisma skills…I resolved a lot of conflicts without violence. Disappointed to be forced into combat with the dragon by our guardian angel.

Kind of disappointed with all the interactions with our ‘guardian angel’ once their true nature was revealed. Maybe I made wrong choices, but their guidance just seemed…off. Not wrong. Not evil. Just somehow not quite right. Maybe somehow inconsistent with their revealed nature, and pushing towards ex machina, like a number of things I don’t see how I’d have discovered if they hadn’t outright told me. The dragon interaction is part of that not-quite-rightness.

I definitely found the ending to be the least satisfying part of the game. I went straight from the dragon to the final battle, and I think that sequence intensified the less-than-satisfying feeling.

Boy he literally murdered his closest, oldest, and most well-intentioned friend in cold blood, threw the body in a dungeon, and let their soul find no rest for several centuries.

Nah correct. We need more Eragons in this era. Saphira might be my single favorite dragon in fiction.

TacticsConsort,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Yes, exactly! There’s nothing wrong with a tragic hero, but when every hero is not just tragic but tragic to a degree that I doubt most writers would even be willing to inflict upon human characters, then it’s clear that something else is needed to bring balance and freshness.

Monomate, do piracy w Some noob questions about seedboxes

I used a seedbox some time ago to download a specific big torrent (at the time). I payed using Paypal, as I don’t consider seedboxes a low-hanging-fruit for rightsholders to persecute at the moment.

There’s too much redundant data on these services, so if they takedown one user’s data, there’s still lots of the same torrented data on other user’s. I don’t think rightsholders are willing to play wack-a-mole for such infractions.

They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing, such as big public torrent sites and cyberlockers.

Tadpole7085,

They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing

Does a popular seedbox host not count as centralized enough?

Cranky because they didn’t let you seduce the dragon, huh?

TacticsConsort,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Seduction would have been like winning the Euromillions. Extremely nice, but totally unrealistic and I know it. I just wanted a nice chat and some pocket money after trekking all this way.

@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Personally I’m excited to see what the mod landscape is going to look like in a year. As with most Bethesda games, I couldn’t care much less about the game itself outside of that key feature.

manapropos,

I’m in the same boat. I play Bethesda games for the experiences the modders create. This will be a steal in a few years for $30

Imagine being a company known for creating games that are a steal when they are 50% off a few years after release.

manapropos,

I don’t think Todd Howard is too worried about it given all the free labor his games get

Same, I am waiting for this. I can only imagine the mods, it’s pretty exciting honestly. (But also because I am too cheap for any $70 game)

explodicle,

Plus then you can get all the expansions bundled together as Special Edition.

neckmeister, do xbox w What are you playing this weekend??

I was going to wait for Starfield, but then I caved in last night and bought the upgrade.

Got 4 hours in before I forced myself to go to bed and can’t wait to jump back in!

Okalaydokalay,

Haha same here! Though, I did technically wait. I was waiting on others to try it and see how it was. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, so I figured I’d drop the $30 on GamePass to get it a few days early. They knew what they were doing in the US because it’s a 3 day weekend for most of us. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of 3 days of not working to play this game?
